It IS a real bill...and a dangerous one, but apparently Senator Obama was not responsible for the quote that was attributed.

Pretty sneaky to get the bill this far by using a voice vote in the House, right?

According to this source, the bill is still only scheduled for debate:

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s110-2433

If you look through the text to the bill at the above link, there is no mention of funding at all. Just a requirement for the President to develop and report a strategy for eliminating extreme global poverty within one year from the passage of the unpassed bill. If Senator Obama is claiming this as an accomplishment, it’s not much to brag about.

No mention of any House action or parallel house bill. What are your sources?
